Don't buy the AG upgrade kit. You can do a lot better. Like a cheap 150W HPS.
Also don't forget the air stone bubbler in the res.
I'm no use for what to do with your plant. (I only use the AG for cloning and keeping a micro mom.) So I'll leave that to the others.

Hey everyone,
I just got my Nutra Wand EC/PPM/CF meter. Friday will be my two week mark to start up my Fox Farm nutes. I am using Distilled water which reads 0ppm and the distilled water in the reservoir reads 570ppm with an EC of 1.2. On the packaging it says 500ppm = 10CF = 1EC. So the ppm in my reservoir is pretty high for not adding nutes for two weeks (see thread https://www.rollitup.org/marijuana-plant-problems/119731-pics-new-growth-has-dark.html). I will flush the reservoir first then add nutes. The Fox Farm feeding schedule reccommends an ec of 1.0 to 1.2 and ppm of 700 to 840 and if I use 1/4 tsp (per gallon) instead reccommended 1 tsp, the ppm should be 175 - 210 and ec .25 - .3. My question is am I going about this in the correct way? What ratios have people been successful with in the past? Thanks.

i agree with you 100%.The AG is small.So you get small results.Your best bet is to get the clamp on cfl hookup(150)w replacement.a couple of them.about 5 or 6.Thats what i used and got better results.
Or,you can take the AG hood off and go HPS for flowering.Flowering under cfl's im gonna tell you right now SUCK! so try to fit the HPS in 150-400w for a single AG.But cfl's are the cheapest.home depot.150w. replacement 2800 lumens or 2600 i forgot but they are deff. the cheapest way to go.
yo volcom im gona add 2 ligths just like the one i have but the soft white or maybe should i just add 3 soft whites and leave the ag ones?? and im planing on topping my plant like in week. what u think??? i dont want it to get bigger dan the AG, like raise the hood past its maximum heigh i thin 24". plants look like thay getting good growth. i havent used any bloomig nutrients. using floranova nutes. well plz tell me wat u think. thanks

Ordered some BIG BUD and WHITE WIDOWS from Nirvana a couple days ago. How do the White Widows grow in the AG?

dude! Got some insight on that insert for the AG?? Looks ideal for cloning and seed starting.

Hey Everybody!!!!!!!!!!
I just got some White Widow seeds from Nirvana and I understand it grows tall. Are these okay for the AG? Got some BIG BUG as well and I know that grows shorter. Can I use a couple of both seeds in the same grow? Any tips?
What seeds should I try next for an AG grow? Which complete their cycle faster?
Thanks...

I'll let you know how it goes...
In just a quick peek I see at least some of the clones making it and I have about 10 or 12 bagseeds that cracked within 40 hours...
Does look sweet doesn't it...
Cheers...

25 out of 32 are now cracked... all are finding their way into the very porous plugs just fine... I was impressed...
All of the clones are still alive... or green anyways... and I added a few more...
I found out that one of my Bagseed Indicas is a female... and I had topped her 4 times... so I got to take a bunch of nice thick stemmed cuttings...
So I now have 19 clones in the AG... some of the new Indica ansd some from the same strain as my last grow...
Here is a pic... or two...lol...
Cheers...
Oh... and I am not sure if you guys were under the impression that I made the tray.... but I didn't....
It's an AG accessory, $30 at the grow shop...
One could easily make one... but it was within $5 of just the plugs... so I got it... but you could easily make it... and use their plugs...
Cheers...
